Book Nerd 101's Stop on the Breaking Nova Blog Tour
I am so excited to be spotlighting Breaking Nova on my blog today and to be a part of the Breaking Nova Blog Tour. I have been a fan of Jessica's for a little over a year now and she just amazes me with each new book she releases. Obviously this one was no different!!!

Nova
Reed used to have dreams-of becoming a famous drummer, of marrying her true
love. But all of that was taken away in an instant. Now she's getting by as
best she can, though sometimes that means doing things the old Nova would never
do. Things that are slowly eating away at her spirit. Every day blends into the
next . . . until she meets Quinton Carter. His intense, honey brown eyes
instantly draw her in, and he looks just about as broken as she feels inside.
Quinton once got a second chance at life-but he doesn't want it. The tattoos on his chest are a constant reminder of what he's done, what he's lost. He's sworn to never allow happiness into his life . . . but then beautiful, sweet Nova makes him smile. He knows he's too damaged to get close to her, yet she's the only one who can make him feel alive again. Quinton will have to decide: does he deserve to start over? Or should he pay for his past forever?

My Thoughts
So let me just start by saying that this has to be one of my
absolute favorite books by Jessica that I have read so far. The raw emotion that is intertwined into the
chaotic lives of both Nova and Quinton, is so haunting, but most importantly
extremely real. This book is intended
for an older audience. The story draws
the reader in right at the prologue. For
the two main characters who had to endeavor such pain and suffering and the
burden that is carried is so complex. As
the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.
That is the best way to describe both Nova and Quinton's situations,
without giving anything away. Sorry
everyone, no spoilers in this post!!
Nova is an extremely strong lead character. She tries to control every aspect of her life
with her daily routine. After the trauma
she endured, she needed to feel in control of everything around her. As for Quinton, ladies, he is mister
mysterious and one emotional rollercoaster ride. However, that's what makes this character so
raw and real. His life changed one night
and he will never get it back again. He
makes a promise that he intends to keep, until Nova turns his world upside
down. They are definitely what each
other needs to save them from themselves.
However, neither one wants to let the other in and that becomes an up
and down, merry-go-round one might call it, ride. Overall, they have amazing chemistry and they
are just drawn to one another no matter what.
The other characters in the story play well off of each other. Nova's best friend, Delilah, helps Nova
during hard times, but soon becomes a problem herself. I really feel for her and the destructive
path that the story leads her down. All
of the characters take a walk on the "wild" side and wander the path
of self destruction. Some make it out
and others not so much. As for the guys,
Dylan and Tristan, I'm not a huge fan of Dylan's. He reminds me to much of someone I use to
know and I'm just not digging it. He
does however make the story interesting.
Tristan, I feel for him. He lost
a lot from his life and he just seems to be losing himself. He's just going with what each day brings, no
matter what it is, but doesn't seem to catch a break. I really hope things look up for him soon!!
Well I can ramble on all day about this book, it was really
just that good. So I definitely give
this book 5 stars, more if it were allowed.
It was another one of those books that once it starts going, you can't
put it down no matter how hard you try.
I had to see what was going to happen next. As for the ending, it takes a turn, that
normally I would be completely opposed to, but for this storyline it is
perfect. Nova is beyond strong and her
true personality shines and I just adore that.
I can't wait to see what Jessica has in store for these emotional
complex characters that I love!!! So
overall, this is a read for a mature audience that is looking for a storyline
with real life obstacles and how some people deal with traumatic hurtles. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride that
sends you spinning, but in a good way.
Great work as always Jessica!!! :)

My name is Nikki Narvaez. I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, where I currently live with my husband, our two dogs, Bella and Oreo, and our cat, Cupcake. I have been teaching for four years, but I hope to become a full-time writer and stay at home mom one day. I am 27 years old, and have three older sisters who have blessed me with four nephews and one niece. In my free time, I love to write
and play Texas Hold 'Em poker.
Teaser:
We went back upstairs to our room, where Brielle headed straight for the balcony doors, opening them and letting the crisp, ocean breeze flow into our room. She walked out and propped her arms on the banister of the balcony railing as she gazed out over the sea.
I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her, placing them on top of hers and pressing our bodies together. Her emotions were everywhere, consisting of concern, fear, anger, and guilt. I rubbed her arms, letting my touch wash over her in an attempt to erase the feelings plaguing her. She leaned back into me as she sighed, “Jace, I -”
“Shh, mi amante,” I whispered in her ear, cutting her off. “Don't worry about anything right now. Let's enjoy this last bit of peace together before we are thrown back into chaos.”
Surprisingly, she didn't try to argue. Her body relaxed against me and she pulled my arms to wrap around her waist before laying hers on top of mine. Our bond thrived as we held one another, the electricity humming over our skin and cocooning us in our love while drowning out the rest of the world until there was nothing but us.
I dipped my head down before grazing my lips along Brielle's neck. Every feeling was intensified with our connection so intricately synchronized, and I could feel our desire increasing with each intoxicating touch.
My hands traveled to her sides before trailing under her shirt to touch her silky skin. They moved upwards to capture her supple breasts, the nipples of which were already hardened with arousal.
Her hands had made their way to the back of my head, fisting themselves in my hair as my mouth laved her delicate neck. My cock stiffened with desire from the sensations of touching and tasting her, pressing against her ass as soft moans escaped her.
I trailed one of my hands down her stomach before slipping under the waistband of her shorts and beneath the lacy fabric of her panties. Her sex was drenched with her desire, and I let my fingers play within her moist, delicate folds. I bit her earlobe lightly as I growled, “Fuck, you are so wet for me already, baby.”
She moaned again as continued to intricately trace my fingers along her pussy. Gods, I wanted to taste her desire so badly. I spun her around, moving my hands to unbutton her shorts and pull them off before removing her panties. She went for my jeans, but I pushed her hands away and shook my head as I rumbled, “I wanna taste you, baby; need to taste how much you want me before I fuck you.”
I grabbed her hips and propped her on the railing of the balcony before kneeling before her and gripping her hips to keep her from falling. I pulled her closer, until her ass was on the edge of the railing before draping each of her legs over my shoulders and giving her a mischievous smirk, “Hold on.”
My tongue slowly traced the insides of her thighs, which were damp with her desire. I greedily savored her sweetness as I slowly inched closer to her apex. I took my time, slowly licking within her folds and nibbling her clit. I pulled and teased it with my teeth as she writhed against me before plunging my tongue within her core. She moaned loudly as more of her nectar flooded my mouth, her pussy already pulsing around my tongue as she neared orgasm.
I moved my hands from her hips to her ass, gripping tightly and pulling her closer as I devoured her, my tongue delving deep inside until she shuddered her release against my mouth. I eagerly suckled the rest of the sweet juices from her sex, licking it clean before I stood. I kept my hands supporting her as she slowly eased off the railing and stood on shaky legs.
I was far from done with her. Just in case we might not make it out of the Underworld, I wanted to savor every second I had with her, and I was going to spend the rest of the day doing exactly that.
I stripped off her shirt, tossing it to the deck of the balcony with the rest of her clothes before inching her back against the railing, pressing my body against hers. She hurriedly pulled my shirt off before undoing the button of my shorts and sliding them down my legs, along with my boxer-briefs.
I turned her around before pushing her down until she was bent over the railing. I spread her legs apart from behind as I eased my cock to her slick entrance. She groaned as I slowly entered her, clutching the railing with both hands as I began to thrust inside her. One of my hands held onto her hip, and the other trailed up her back to grab her hair, which had curtained over her shoulders and spread down her back, her head tilted upwards while moaning my name. I grunted, “You like that, baby? Like when I fuck you like this?”
Her cries of pleasure grew louder as she moaned, “Yes, baby. I love it when you fuck me!”
Damn, she was so sexy when she sounded like that. All the noises emanating from her were slowly unraveling my control, especially when combined with the amazing sensations of our bond. As I felt my release approaching, I stopped, wanting to watch her face as I made her come. I carefully turned her over, supporting her body, making sure to stay within her warmth as her legs were wrapped around me and her back was against the railing.
I resumed my thrusts, bracing one hand on the railing while the other gripped her ass as I plunged in and out of her. I leaned down to take her breast in my mouth as my gaze traveled up to her face. She arched against me, supporting herself on the balcony with her elbows while moans of pleasure escaped her open mouth as her eyes closed in ecstasy.
Her pussy throbbed around me as we both neared climax. I pulled her off the balcony and carried her to our bed, laying her down on the edge and inching her back until we reached the center of the mattress. I resumed my thrusts as I claimed her mouth, our tongues joining instantly as we devoured one another. Our hands frantically roamed over each other's bodies as Brielle took me deeper and deeper into her center, taking everything I was giving her.
Her pussy tightened around my shaft as she climaxed. The throbbing of her walls against my cock and her throaty moans sent me into ecstasy, my cum coating her walls with my release. I rolled to my side, panting heavily to catch my breath, but Brielle continued to roll us until she was on top of me with my dick still enclosed inside her.
Her hair was wild with damp curls and sweat glistened over her skin. She looked down at me through hooded eyes, causing my cock to harden again. “My turn."

The Weekend Proposition by Ella Jade
Blurb
One weekend—no strings, no expectations, and
no commitments. On Sunday afternoon it all ends, or does it?
No-nonsense
businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He’s headed to Connecticut for the
weekend to attend his cousin’s elaborate wedding. His whole family will be there
in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer’s brother,
Ava has been telling her friends she’s planning a magical reunion with her
favorite ex-boyfriend. Spencer’s not in the mood to deal with her, but he can’t
miss the wedding. He needs a plan.
Struggling Brooklyn
waitress and aspiring graphic designer Dakota Vercelli has fallen on hard
times. College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a toll
on her. A chance encounter with Mr. Cannon, CEO of Cannon and Carrington
Advertising, leads to a proposition that may be just the thing to solve both of
their problems. Spencer’s offer—spend four days with him during the wedding
festivities and keep his ex off his trail. In return, he’ll compensate her
generously for her time. He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the
cash.
It was just supposed
to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under the stars, and
attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the illusion end when
the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning?
Content Warning:
contains mature language and graphic sexual content
Excerpt
“I have a proposition
for you.”
“A proposition?”
What could he possibly have to offer her?
“I have to attend my
cousin’s wedding this weekend. Actually, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. I
don’t want to go alone for reasons I don’t wish to discuss right now. I need
someone to accompany me. I’m offering that to you.”
“And you think I’m
‘to the point’?”
He smiled but didn’t
say anything. She couldn’t stand the silence. She wanted to figure out his
game. There had to be some sort of catch.
“You want me to go
to a wedding with you?”
“It’s in
Connecticut. I would require your services until Sunday afternoon. All of your
expenses would be paid, including a wardrobe which would be yours to keep after
the weekend.”
“You need a date?”
“I would need you to
appear as my girlfriend.”
“Is this a joke?”
“I wouldn’t joke
about something like this. I’ve thought the entire thing through.”
“A man who looks
like you should have no problem finding a real girlfriend to buy clothes for
and flaunt in front of his family.” She thought for a moment. “Unless there’s
something wrong with you.”
“There’s nothing
wrong with me.” He raised his voice a bit. “I had planned on attending alone
but circumstances have changed. I’m in a bind and from what I gather, you are
too.”
Her instincts
screamed to run in the opposite direction. She’d never been the type to fall
for a scam. “I’m not interested in—”
“I’ll pay you two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your time.”
“What?” Apparently a
side of crazy came with those good looks.
“One hundred and
twenty-five thousand today, if you agree.” He pulled out a check from the
inside pocket of the jacket he had draped on the back of the chair. He slipped
the mint green paper across the table. “You’ll get the rest on Sunday
afternoon.”
“That’s fifty grand
a day.” She studied the check. It would take her years to make that kind of
money working these shit-end jobs.
“I’m aware.” He
nodded as if the money meant nothing. “I’m asking for your time, a commodity I
believe should be well compensated.”
Too good to be true.
“Do you make it a
habit of paying women to be your girlfriend?”
“Pretend
girlfriend,” he reminded her. “You would be the first.”
“Why me?”
“Does it matter?”
“What exactly do you
expect me to do for that money?”
“I told you.” He
narrowed his eyes. “I need a date for a long weekend. Everyone needs to think
we’re a couple.”
“You’re willing to
pay me to go away with you for four days. I’m supposed to take your word we’re
going to a wedding in Connecticut? How do I know you won’t kidnap me and want
to do all sorts of kinky stuff to me? You could be some sex-obsessed lunatic.”
“Kinky stuff?”
“Yeah, you know,
like bondage and blindfolds.”
“Do you like that
sort of thing?” He tried to conceal his smirk.
